My point was- we have to pay taxes regardless. We can't decide not to pay taxes. I took it the response meant that Americans can choose not to pay taxes if they were to 'help ghettos.' People can't decide which taxes to pay and which not to pay at their discretion. I can't say 'I am not paying payroll taxes, but I will pay the tax for the new furniture I just bought.'
